    January work dinner for 6 last minute. Place was half empty. Great for us. Service was perfect. Food was solid. Ambiance was lively (music, not people). I don't know if I'd go when it's busy because it looks like it would get mobbed by tourists. Outdoor champagne patio? Come on!? But in January on a weekday? All day long! Do it!

    The server was fantastic. The food was very good. We had decided to eat there beaded on the menu we found online. Once we arrived we noticed the menu we had seen was no longer in use. A bartender shared that they change it often and not everything stays the same. Overall a great experience.

    Love the Vibe here. Great service. Great energy. Super chill tunes that are great for listening but also having dinner with someone. Food is fine, not spectacular.

    We enjoyed our dinner at Geist and would recommend going here! We visited in January, while the holiday decorations were still up. It was stunning! The staff was welcoming and engaging. My husband cracked a few jokes and they played along, making us laugh right back. The food was delicious— we started with the scallops which were cooked perfectly. I got the sea bass and my husband got the rigatoni. We liked both our entrees. The only issue was that there was a 30+ min wait between our appetizer and entrees. The restaurant requires you to order your entire meal at once. We aren’t sure if this is the typical pacing, or if something happened. We still had a good experience and would come back!

    We went to Geist for my daughters birthday. We were so pleased to see that their Christmas decorations were up until the end of January, and they were so beautiful! The team did a fantastic job decorating and making the restaurant feel cozy and inviting. The entire staff was incredible, and we felt so taken care of. The food was phenomenal, especially the pork chops and the blackberry tarte! We will definitely be back.
